Geometric
arrangements give a
formal impression, while
clustering creates a
cozy warmth atmosphere.
Light
colours create bright;
airy looking rooms and
can trick the eye into
making small spaces
look bigger and ceilings
appear higher.
Do
hang pictures at eye
level. The centre of
the art work should
be at eye level. In
a sitting area, put
art at eye level.
Pictures
should be no more than
a foot above furnishing
so that you see the grouping
as one unit.

Dark
colours create intimate
spaces. Dark colours
absorb light, walls
appear closer and make
rooms look smaller and
more intimate.
Dark
walls tend to dominate
a room, so they make
fine companions to light
coloured furniture carpets
and accents. ·
To
mix textures in a room,
make sure there's a
common denominator,
like a common colour.
Do fill
in the wall space with
a vase or other decorative
object if a picture is
hung high on a wall above
a table. This links the
table to the picture in
a unified composition.
Do
buy items that will
have the most pronounced
effect on the room -
like furniture. Accessories
can be added.
Bright
colours work best in
active places like children
rooms and play areas.
Because
bright colours attract
attention they can be
used against a light
background.
Do create
an eye-pleasing composition
with several pictures
or objects.
